[Intro] [female vocal Soft] Tiny hands in iron frames Pretty Quiet Sit up straight [male vocal Soft] Little fists in bigger gloves Told to clench Never shake [Verse 1] [male vocal] "Stand up straight Be the rock Not the rain" they said Bit my lip Turned the flood into flame in my chest Every bruise I turned to brag Every break I turned to bragging rights All that weight on my back Till my shadow felt twice my height [female vocal] "Smile for them Be the glass on the shelf " they hum Knees on pins Learning how to say yes with my tongue Every dress a quiet cage Every compliment a careful cage Shake my head They shake their heads Call it "just another phase" [Pre-Chorus] [dual vocals Building] How long do we play these parts Lines written long before our hearts You say "that’s just how it is" I say "who decided this?" [Chorus] [dual vocals Big] We are not your 1800s We are not your paper dolls Boys can cry and girls say "not this" We are breaking down these walls You can keep your rusted stories Frame them Hang them in your hall We are not your 1800s We were born to rewrite it all [Verse 2] [male vocal] Teach me rage Never taught me how to name my hurt Taught me fists Never taught me how to stitch my shirt Called it "strong" when I was stone Clapped when I was cold and hard But my chest is not a vault It’s a cracked and crowded yard [female vocal] Pulled my skirt Every time I tried to take up space Pulled my dreams Off the wall Said "that’s a waste" "Good girls don’t raise their voice" "Good wives don’t raise their choice" If I bend I start to break If I speak They call it noise [Pre-Chorus] [dual vocals Tighter harmonies] How long till we burn this script Tear the binding Loosen grip You say "that’s just how it was" We say "watch what happens next" [Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] [piano only Hushed] [female vocal] Let the boy hold his brother Till his shoulders finally shake [ male vocal Low ] Let the girl sign her name On the life that she will make [dual vocals Rising] Teach our sons they’re more than armor Teach our daughters more than grace Every child an open canvas Not a costume Not a cage [crescendo] [female vocal] I am not your quiet ending [male vocal] I am not your sharpened blade [dual] We are here We are rewriting Every rule you ever made [Chorus] [Chorus]

Cinematic modern pop duet over strings, piano, and hybrid drums. Verses trade female and male vocals in tight call-and-response; pre-chorus stacks harmonies, then chorus explodes with full orchestra, big toms, and crowd-style backing vocals. Bridge strips to piano and subtle pads, then swells back with layered choir and octave female/male lead for a cathartic final hook., male vocals
